Following the commentary and beginning the next movement

Commentary chapters 1–2 support Episode 1; chapters 3–5 support Episode 2; chapters 6–17 support Episodes 3–14 in order. All seventeen chapters have an identified place. Larger or sensitive discussions may need more than one meeting.

After Episode 14, read Exodus 12:33–51 independently. Trace departure, the mixed company, timing, and Passover directions. Season Five ends at Exodus 12:32. The next commentary volume, BA-43505, Learning to Live Free, begins at Exodus 12:33.

Teaching uses restrained language about enslavement, state violence against children, killing, bodily danger, judgment, and bereavement. Personal disclosure is optional. Difficult wording in Exodus 4 remains explicitly uncertain; divine hardening and Pharaoh’s responsibility are both retained. The teaching does not invite reenactment or diagnosis of modern disasters.
